I'm visiting the area and chose Chick-A-Dee's for a quick breakfast. The menu is short, for both breakfast and lunch/dinner. I chose the 2 egg, 2 french toast, 2 sausage breakfast. I wouldn't order this again, because the french toast could definitely be made better at home. My husband's meal, on the contrary, I wish I'd ordered. The Colorado Omelette was fantastic. Egg cooked thin, stuffed with ham and mushrooms, and topped with a good slice of cheese. Wisconsin definitely does their dairy right. The cheese and butter on the toast were fantastic. I give an extra star for the service. They are kind and very quick. Also very vocal about their love for police and military service members. read more

Amazing affordable meals that aren't supersized. The hash browns are legendary, which is what brought us here. Fine old small town diner vibe and excellent service. read more

Great breakfast. My daughter and I went here for breakfast and this place was great. Very friendly staff and an older diner feel.

Fish fry on Friday. Nice haddock They have 1, 2 or all you can eat options for the fish dinner. We had fried, baked and Cajun grill at the table, all done well. You get 2 sides and toast. Coleslaw was a second choice as daughter for the last baked potato, was standard coleslaw fare. Chicken dumpling soup was a great start to a wonderfully satisfying meal. Hot fries, big steamy potato and plenty of haddock delivered quick. Family running place very friendly and quick service even with a pretty full house. They give you a carafe when you order coffee, some people don't like that but I do! Glad we found as the others were serving cod or pollock. read more

Yes I recommended this place. I've eaten here a few times. It's exactly the kind of neighborhood place every neighborhood should have. I get breakfast. The staff is friendly. The room is cute but I have one issue. The tables are tight. If your a larger Cheese head you may have issue sitting in their booths. Very uncomfortable. I get they're trying to capacity, but it's uncomfortable for me. Now I'm losing weight and and I will go back. read more

Visiting our son at UW Eau Claire and went here for breakfast. Great food and service. Will definitely be back!

We've always had really good food and service here. Nice little restaurant with some cool memorabilia decorating the walls. Highly recommended. read more

I just love this little place for breakfast. It's very small, with booth seating. Even when it's busy, I've never had to wait long for a table. I usually come here on a weekend when I have to go into work early for a couple of hours. Plus, this place has been here for over 30 years, so there is a lot of nostalgia here. My mom introduced me to the fried chicken gizzard at Chicken Hut when I was a child. I still love them and get them a few times a year. They have the classic breakfast offerings, eggs, meats, omelettes, pancakes, etc. Friendly servers. They bring you a pot of coffee, so you never run out and don't have to wait for a refill! I love that. Pay at the register. read more

Chick-A-Dee's Family Restaurant - Mmmmmm....chicken gizzards and hash browns - American Near Me - Eau Claire, Wisconsin

A nice experience all around the board...The food, the service, and the price I paid was all up to satisfactory. Thank you all!

Whether you agree with their "politics" or not, I find they've always treated every customer fair and have never been made to feel like I didn't belong (unlike some other places). Food is delicious and the staff is wonderful. This is def the best place to eat breakfast for the quality and bang for the buck. Have been going here for years and will continue to come and recommend. read more

I wanted to go for a fish fry Friday night and we tried another spot, but there was an hour wait. So we headed to a third option, but drove by Chick-A-Dees en route. If you were there, we drove by twice trying to see how busy it was! We didn't want to wait--and we didn't have to. My husband ran in and beckoned us in. Walking in, the atmosphere was everything old and well-loved. We got a tiny, cozy booth for four (2 adults, 2 kids). Let me cut to the chase: the fish fry I had was the fish fry I've been dreaming about since I moved into Eau Claire in 2006! Huge pieces of golden fish, crispy fries, and chilled coleslaw! And the "icing" on top...the tartar sauce was yummy! Not too much Mayo and plenty of vinegar! Chick-A-Dees, I will be back! read more

Went in for Friday night fish fry! Fantastic! Friendly wait staff and very accommodating. Highly recommend!

Spotted the Chick A Dee on Yelp while in EC for the UWEC family weekend. My student daughter loves the Nucleus and we do too but I wanted to help her expand her horizons. Afterwards, a local friend and UWEC alum told me Chick has served many hung over college students hang over breakfast for years. My kind of place. True to other reviews, the exterior is simple and the neighbor outside of the redeveloped downtown area. I trusted the other reviews and looked past the simple. The front door way and proxy for a waiting area during in-climate weather and was jammed. Within minutes we were greeted by a guy taking names who kindly provided guidance on wait times. I confirmed our willingness to wait 20-30 minutes with a "yes sir" and believe it cut our wait time to 20 minutes. The "guy" turned out to be the owner. The food is basic comfort breakfast food. I ordered the Mexican omelette which gets its Mexican from taco meat, green peppers salsa and sour cream. My breakfast guests enjoyed French toast or pancakes. Neither was extra fancy but no plate was left with any food. Ample servings but not huge. Total bill for four was about $40 with coffees, OJ, tax and generous tip included. Best of all, none of the gut ache 20 minutes later you get from some diner food. Next time I try the Blueberry pancakes. read more

Great service. Walked out with a full stomach and a smile on my face. Steak and eggs was unbelievable.

Friendly service, good food and great prices. On a trip on up north we chose Chick A Dee's ahead of time due to the online reviews, and we were not disappointed. The breakfast menu is quite extensive. read more

Pulling up outside Chick-A-Dee's, my first impression was that it looked like a south side Milwaukee corner bar. We arrived at about 10 am on a Monday and the obvious locals at the bar across the street were already getting their drink on. Speaking of across the street, parking is in a lot across the street from the restaurant. The inside of Chick-A-Dee's definitely yells greasy spoon. I had French toast and sausage. My friend had eggs and toast. My food was only so-so. My friend's eggs must have been some kind of liquid egg substitute because they were the strangest consistency. I will say the coffee was good and prices are low, but overall Chick-A-Dee's wasn't anything to rave about. read more

This has become our go-to Sunday morning spot. We used to try different places but this is so good we no longer vary. Food is delicious. We've ordered breakfast and lunch- almost every menu item and have never been disappointed. Love the biscuits and gravy and the burgers are great. The owner is present and personable. I'm glad we found a never miss local place. read more

We went on a weekday and had the pancakes, eggs and bacon. Pancakes are big and tasted great. The waitress told us about the homemade biscuits and gravy available on the weekends so we went back to try those. The gravy is made with bacon and sausage. The biscuits were light and very good. Both visits we had great service and the food was available quickly. You definitely won't be hungry when you leave! read more

I have heard good things and finally went for breakfast. The hash browns were cooed in so much oil, the oil dripped off and so much oil on the plate. The pancakes were heavy, not light and fluffy. My friend had eggs and bacon. The were fine but his pancakes also were heavy. Won't go back. read more

We enjoyed good, hot food and good service at an incredibly low price. Nice mom and pop place.

Typical out-of-the-way diner, bedecked with cutesy farm animal chotchkis and coated in a thin layer of grease. Came here for a late breakfast at 10:30 and it look an hour to get food for 3 of us. The pricing is really good, but it's a small establishment so if it's busy, don't expect to get quick service. It's also incredibly loud. Probably wouldn't go back. The food was typical breakfast fare, nothing amazing, but not bad. read more

Another reviewer describes the exterior as a south Milwaukee corner bar- this is a correct description of the exterior, to be fair. But, inside, you'll find a great, cheap breakfast chock-full of hearty favorites. I enjoyed the biscuits and gravy; my companion ordered chocolate chip pancakes and bacon. The bacon was great- thick cut and crispy. The pancakes were good as well, a little light on chips, but they were there. Service at the start was a little rough, but improved over the course of our meal. Talking with other diners who are regulars there, it sounds like it really matters who you get to serve your table. Either way, it was an enjoyable meal. read more

Alyssa R, our 11 week-old child, & I took a trip to Wausau, to visit a sick uncle. I checked Yelp for a halfway spot to stop & get an All-You-Can-Eat Friday Night Fish Fry. Chick-A-Dee's ended up being that place. Driving up to the restaurant, we look for the parking lot. They don't have one. We find a legal spot on the street, and make our way in. As we reach the door, I saw a permanent sign on the window advertising the AYCE Friday Night Fish Fry. I also noticed the hours of operation. They are only open till 8pm. We got there about 7:10pm. Walking in, we see there isn't a table in the place. All booths. It has the feel of a cheaper Country Kitchen. There is two tube TVs in opposite corners. Both had CNN on. At least half of the booths were occupied. We chose our booth, and get greeted by a young lady asking us if we had an idea of our beverage choice. Alyssa R goes with Coke. I go with water. She drops off a couple of menus, and says she'd be right back. I take a look into the menu, and notice that it's a cheap place. There couldn't have been anything on the menu over 8 or 9 bucks. A different lady, Jean, drops off the Coke, and asks me if just water was OK, or did I want something else. I tell her just water. Jean asks if we knew what we wanted to eat. Both of us go for the Fish Fry. She then asks if we would like baked, Cajun, fried, or mixed. Oooo yeah. Bonus marks for that. Alyssa R goes with fried and Cajun mix. I go with just fried. Jean then asks if we would like french fries or hash browns. Bonus marks again! Fries for us both. Jean then asks us if we wanted applesauce, coleslaw, or cottage cheese. Wow. Impressive. Cole slaw for us both. Jean came back in a couple of minutes with our coleslaw. A small bowl of creamy, crunchy, sweet goodness. Alyssa R detected a hint of pineapple? I thought so, too. Supper came in 10 minutes. First impression. Nice! Two, huge pieces of deep fried pollack. So big, they hung off the sides of the plate! Next to them, crinkle cut fries. Almost like the O'rida kind. Crispy on the outside. Soft and steamy on the inside. My wife's Cajun piece was pan fried, and very well seasoned. Woo Wee. Real nice spice! The deep fried was great. Great batter. Just enough to cover the fillet. It puffed up nice in the oil. They didn't have lemon wedges. So, Jean brought lemon juice packets. That worked alright. It also came with a plastic ramekin of tartar sauce. Flavor was great. Pollack was flaky and fresh. When Jean came to check up on us, she asked if we wanted to put a reorder of fish in. I asked for two Cajun. Alyssa R went with one Cajun and one deep fried. Alyssa R also asked for some more coleslaw. Jean informed her that it's just fish that's all you can eat. Boo. The Cajun came out more like 4 pieces. Big plate of spicy, flaky, pan fried perfection. This spice is not for the timid. It made my nose run. It was GOOD. After digging through all the flaky bits of spicy goodness on the plate, we discover two nicely seasoned full pieces on the bottom of the plate. We decide to take these along, and ask Jean for a take out box. She said that's not allowed, because it's all you can eat, right here in the restaurant. She also said she would make an exception this time, and allow it. Hurray, Jean! Jean came back with the box, and also the check. Just under 21 bucks. $8.95 for the All-You-Can-Eat Friday Night Fish Fry. Holy Cow! A steal of a deal. The ambiance of the place, well, leaves a lot to be desired. But the place doesn't come off as fancy, or try to be. It is what it is. Cheap & good. Choices for the fish fry lead to the higher star rating. 3 choices of fish, 2 choices of potato, 3 choices of sides. That alone was awesome. If there wasn't all those options, probably 3 stars. Because of the proximity of this restaurant to our house, this isn't going to be a place we visit on a regular basis. However, this is the type of place Alyssa R & I look for in the Cities. Good service. Good, cheap food. This is a great spot to stop on a road trip into Wisconsin. It comes recommended by us. read more

Chick-a-dee's has been my family's go-to breakfast spot for years now, so any time I come home, I insist we go here at least once during my trip. It is this tiny cafe in the North side of Eau Claire, with some of the cheapest prices I have seen anywhere. I am pretty sure nothing on the menu is over $7 dollars, and that is for a steak.Every time I come in, they have the exact same 'special' on their white board (which is usually hand dry-erased with pictures of the seasons, today they had pumpkins), and that special is biscuits and gravy, full or half order. Get the special. 2 biscuits with really creamy, spicy, sausage studded gravy for $1.90? Damn it feels good to be out of the city. If you live in Eau Claire, or if you are visiting for any reason, stop by this place. Your wallet and stomach will thank you. read more

Spent a long night on Water St? Is your head pounding, your stomach queasy, and you might pass out at any moment? Chick-A-Dee's is the cure. Fill yourself up with delicious pancakes, sausage, bacon, french toast, whatever you want. And you know what? It won't break the bank. You can have a whole freaking breakfast for under $10, easy. I was shocked, just SHOCKED the first time I ate there and had three plates of food full of pancakes, bread, sausages, eggs, glasses of OJ, and the bill comes - something like $8. Wow. I love this place. I no longer live there, but damn, if I did, I would eat there ALL THE TIME. read more

Disclaimer: I have only eaten breakfast here and I was starving! The service was fast, the everything omelet was delicious and the milk was ice cold :) The hash browns were extra crispy as ordered, but weren't very good. The omelet made up for it though! Wouldn't go for anything other than breakfast, but other people were and it was pretty busy. read more

I love eating here! Small and homely feel. Service is always great even when it's busy. I don't like to feel like I'm a bother when it's busy and I have to say I Never do! Keep up the great work! Oh and great French toast....yum! read more

Great option for an affordable, tasty breakfast. When in Eau Claire I often eat breakfast at the Nucleus, which was closed (Monday/Tuesday). I searched for an option near my hotel (The Oxbow) and gave Chick-A-Dees a try. Turned out it was everything you'd want in a diner breakfast. You won't be wowed by the ambience (and that's fine), but you'll be full and satisfied. In addition, the staff was friendly and attentive. Recommended as a great option for breakfast! read more

Awesome breakfast! Can't wait to try a lunch there!! We enjoyed the diner feel and the owners are amazing!
